Enchanted Mushroom Ring and Guardian Gnome

Description

Do you dare to step within the fairy ring? Will you be risk being spell bound forever? But wait, this one is already taken by a little gnome. No place is more magical than a toadstool ring; unless you find it with its friendly gnome in residence. Our gnome, whose gnomenclature happens to be, Silly Simon, is happy to welcome you to his mushroom circle, its mossy paths are ever so comfy, do stop by and listen him spin a tale or two.

This needle felted sculpture was created by me using natural wool and repurposed sweaterfelt. This unique piece contains no thread or stitches, it was entirely needle felted by hand. Needle felting is done over hours and hours, painstakingly sculpting wool by poking it hundreds of times. Each mushroom was needle felted separately and then firmly felted to the base of the piece. Like their natural counter parts they may shift and bend in different ways. The mossy banks and mushrooms are merino wool and the “dirt” around the edging is natural colored alpaca. The hill is stuffed with new fiber fill to create its ring like appearance. Gnome guardian may be removed but rests most comfortably in the shallow depression in the middle of the ring. The fairy ring itself measures approx. 8” x 8”, from the bottom of the base to the tallest mushroom is 3”. Silly Simon is approx. 3” tall, although his beard and hat make him seem more like 5”.

Not necessarily recommended for long periods of rough or outdoor play by adults or children. However, its perfect for use as an imaginative storytelling object for folks of all ages.

This piece is an initialed and dated limited series; a signed description card will be included. Of course it will be packaged carefully and shipped priority to ensure its swift arrival.
